Growing More Perennial Vegetables and Herbs
Perennial food crops are great to have in the garden. Once established, they provide food year after year with minimal effort. They also typically require fewer resources like fertilizer and water. Though we already grow a number of perennial food crops in the garden, one of our goals for next year is to grow even more, especially more perennial vegetables and herbs.

Hi, how did the 3 tree collard cuttings go? Did they survive ok? (I hope so). If so maybe you could do an update? Cheers.
-
what is the name of the plant first shown in the video with long purple veins?
-
Hi, Do you start your tree collards from seed or cuttings. And also where do you purchase from ? Love all the videos I have watched so far !
-

-
Thank you so much for all the fantastic information, not only on this video, but on all of them! As a beginning grower in the Midwest, your info is welcomed greatly! Thanks again! Keep up the good work!

I've seen this video before but this is the 2nd time going back and watching when i have more knowledge . I grow sunchokes, just planted asparagus in my front yard this past winter. Red vein sorrel came back from last year which was a very present surprise. And last years cutting of my tree collards has lots of leaves. Thanks for all the time you spent making this video. it's full of solid info

Excellent information on some neglected food plants :) I am doing something similar in the mediterranean area. I would add greater sea kale (crambe cordifolium), cichorium intybus, lamium family, scorzonera, diplotaxis, echinacea, beta and medicago family to the list :) Most on your list plus these are established or on their way in my garden. Would love to exchange info and experience if you can find the time? This is my site: aegeanedibles.weebly.com

Is chickweed a perrennial or a self-seeding annual. I have wild and common arugula that are among my favs.

At about 25 seconds in, you pluck off a leaf of a plant that has bright green blade-shaped leaves with bright pink-purple veins. What is that? I have plants that look like that growing on their own in my back pasture. I just thought they were weeds.

Nice film mate. I planted a tara vine (hardy kiwi) a couple of months ago but am disappointed that it hasn't made any growth since then and can only hope it will start to romp away in the Spring. I yearn to find more space to grow perennial food crops though and live with others in a community and prayers remain that I will receive the good fortune to buy a derelict country house with a walled garden to renovate for this purpose.

Great garden thank

Asparagus grows in zone 9 too
-
been planning for sometime now, i have a half acre open area in my yard i want to convert in. the problem is, it gets full sun.daylight to dark, i know for sure i will be using about 14 fruit trees and 4 nut trees, so i was wondering,what will take full sun besides the trees, i had grapes out this year, and the sun was to much. live in zone 6a. thanks
